Thomas from The Game Bolt: "During Sony’s press conference at E3 this year, it was announced that Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, and 3 would all be remastered for the PS4. Needless to say, Crash fans were ecstatic at the promise of playing some of their favorite classics once again on their modern systems. Of course, let’s not forget Crash Bandicoot had a long and successful franchise before he began to fade out in 2010. While the first three games provided us with our fondest memories with the bandicoot, some of the games that followed are also equally deserving of our attention."
Brendan O’Brien, the voice actor behind the original Crash Bandicoot and several other characters featured in the classic Naughty Dog trilogy of games on PlayStation, died on March 23.
With Activision's Crash Team Rumble's launch coming this year, it might be good to look at older games for inspiration like Crash Team Racing.
Blocky graphics, pre-rendered backgrounds, and controls that could not make sense of a 3D world were all hallmarks of games on the original PlayStation console. Here are our picks for PS1 games that actually stand the test of time.
One of the best, if not the best, generations for gaming. So many brilliant games came out during this: Parasite Eve, Resident Evil, Alundra, Xenogears, Final Fantasy VII, and I’ll be here all day naming them off.
Nowadays, nobody would take a risk on 75% of the IPs on that console. I’ll tell you this, there was no damn remasters on that system. Every game was something unique.
Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, RE2, RE3, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Xenogears are all my favorites. Glad to see Legacy of Kain get mentioned. FF7 does get the love and its a great game I love it but I Like FF8 more and I know many people who will also drop FF9 into this list as well. MMX4 I prefer on the Saturn myself don't know what it is but I preferred MM games on the Saturn. PS1 was my second choice when the 32bit era landed on gamers after the fall of the Saturn PS1 had the library and the developers.
A lot of these games do not hold up as well as you’d think. MGS is pretty archaic for newer gamers to grasp. It’s not as bad as RE or Silent Hill but it still plays rough. I think out of the PSOne generation, the most preserved games are 2D like SOTN, Rayman, and my favorite Oddworld games. I agree that FF Tactics is definitely a lasting format.
Vagrant Story is the only one I would go back to play. In certain ways it still hasn't been matched. The dialog and visual direction are of amazing quality and the music is absolutely superb.

They should do Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash next.
Crash Team Racing needs to have online play and maybe added battle maps.
I don't mind remasters but after the ones they are doing i would rather they made a whole new game.
Crash Team Racing
Obviously
CTR is a must
how about a new game
